      @mostapplethingofall That's raw SQL data, apparently.

        @purple and all RDN data is stored safely on a 5 year-old 10 disk RAID 0 array

          @nlghtmaremoon Fragmentation, not redundancy. :p

      @mostapplethingofall 3gb? I expected about 80% to be honest. ^_^

      @mostapplethingofall the one that is a simple striped volume.. gives most space and speed, but is VERY dangerous... All a pun of coarse.

        @nlghtmaremoon Oh Raid 0 is the striping one. Never mind about the fragmentation thing! xD

      @mostapplethingofall the more disks the scarier the array, EX. a 10 disk array if any of the 10 disks die the whole array will fail.

      @mostapplethingofall Yep! its super cool on SSD's as reliability is not a problem, and data is striped across all 10 disks, so data can be read, and written simultaneity across the 10 disks

        @nlghtmaremoon Ew, SSDs. Extremely expensive, low capacity, and little lifespan.

              @nerthos I wasn't seriously recommending them for anything. :p That's what the tildes and CrAzY cApS were for.

                @redenchilada I mean, SSDs are the computer hardware equivalent to what flare launchers are for mall ninjas.

      @mostapplethingofall raid 1 is a "mirror" and very safe, but you only get 1/2 the size ex. a 2 disk array 1tb each will only give 1tb.

      @mostapplethingofall RAID 5 is good, as you set up 4 drives, 3 striped, with parity. you get 3/4 the space and can loose any one drive... the prob is raid 5 now sucks, as raid 5 arrays take time to rebuild after a drive failure, and the stats are like 50% chance of a second drive dropping during rebuild on a large drive array (ex 2tb)
